Commander PK Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Stain on the hall he is not in. Beyond ridiculous at this point. Give the man his due 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Kind of sucks that even if he gets in it's under a team name he never played for because of a loser owner that he never played for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the teams they played for are talked about during the ceremonies and speeches etc., no NFL player actually goes in the HOF under a specific team name. This has come up a lot with players who played for multiple teams or won SBs with multiple teams, like Peyton Manning. The reality was and is that it doesn’t matter because the player isn’t inducted as a member of any team. It only comes up in the speeches. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultravin Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 unfortunately, he won't. why? can't explain. it would be a violation to explain. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I was told on FB that the reason he hasn’t been voted in to the HOF yet is cause of no support from other owners, media, and voting body because of Snyder. I guess that could be an explanation…..would be pretty rude of them though, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin60 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 As a non-fan of the team, I have to say I'm shocked he's not in the HOF yet. It's not something I ever paid attention to but always kind of assumed he was. Yeah, he was a star. Of course he's deserving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 i'm not sure how you could morally keep him out after seeing all the defenders he protected our QB's against in the 80's. Elite talent like Reggie White et al. It's a crime he's not in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madden lot Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 He would've been voted in 15 years ago had someone photo shopped him in a cowboys jersey. Gary Clark as well. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 He would have been a first ballot HOFer if he had been drafted in the first round rather than being an UDFA. NFL is so ****ed up - their show on Top Ten UDFA of all time didn't include Jacoby, but had Wayne Chrebet.... seriously, wtf? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markmills67 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I hope if he gets in that he goes to the podium and shouts HTTR, because that was our name (should still be) when he played in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Reggie White.....en route to winning three Super Bowls and being named an all decade lineman. Jacoby headed up a line that neutralized two of the greatest defensive players of all time in Taylor and White. He's an HOFer for sure. It's a crime he's not in. His line won three SB's with 3 different QB's and 3 different RB's....(Riggins, Smith, Byner). It'll never happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berggy9598 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) He won't get in as long as the same old fossils who only understand fame in the literal sense, rather than the technical aspects of the game, are voting on this. An actual scouting report on a left tackle might as well be in a foreign language if someone like Peter King tried to read it. When you get past the obvious first ballot guys who you know are going in before they're even done playing, it's all kind of a joke. Players like Jacoby will always get the short end of the stick cause too few voters are actually football people.

Koolblue13 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Would be great for our rebranding, and our ratings for the NFL, but I think it comes down to dastardly dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that would be pretty shortsighted of the voters. I mean, I don't believe Dan Snyder would surface in public for Jacoby's HoF induction and try to steal any spotlight. I don't think he did for Darrell Green or Art Monk. But whatever, this is bull****. Here's the All Decade Team for the 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League_1980s_All-Decade_Team Most of these guys are in. Some of the second teamers, especially on the defense aren't. But, IMO, if you are on an All Decade Team, first or second team doesn't matter, you should be in HOF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I honestly don't know why the hall hasn't considered adding the group as a whole. 30 years later, The "Hogs" are one of the most impactful group of men to ever influence the game. Have 5-7 smaller busts and induct the group. The sum was greater than the parts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-9- Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 “Joe Jacoby, absolutely a Hall Of Famer...far as I know, one of the criteria for the Hall is, were you amongst the absolute best during the course of your career. Joe Jacoby was amongst the best of his generation. The game was played quite differently back then, the rules somewhat favored us guy's coming off the edge. There were a good handful of quality pass rushers, Joe dealt with them all. Big guy, tough guy, long reach, was a pain in the ass to deal with. Listen our games against the Redskins during that era were absolute wars, me and Joe were right in the middle of it every time. Again, so many battles over so many years. Bottom line, the guy played for 60 minutes every game, never backed down, just a ton of respect for Joe and all the guys from those Redskins teams.” – Lawrence Taylor, HOF Class of 1999 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
